As Einstein quoted "A clever person solves a problem. A wise person avoids it." means there is no need to solve the problem if you avoid the problem.
Clever word is used for people who can think of alternative ways to wriggle out of a tough situation. If you put a barrier in front of a moving ant, it may not think of a way to get out but a more intelligent creature may find a way to circumvent the barrier. Clever has come to denote a person who is cunning but it is not right as clever is always used in a positive sense.
Wise is a word that signifies a person who has a lot of knowledge and wisdom. That is the reason why elderly people are mostly associated with this word as life has made them pass through thick and thin making them wise. You can always ask for help from a wise person as you think he has the answer to a situation that proves difficult for you.
